This should be fun. I'll definitely be dialing in. The stock fall wasn't too bad today, considering . . . but one doesn't like to hear that Asian banks are telling their traders to stop doing business with them, even if that order was later rescinded. We'll see how Asia's feeling tomorrow. The Fed will also be releasing the statement from its monthly meeting at 2 pm. Should be a wild day in the markets.
